This is book 9 in the Dr Harrison Lane. I have read and loved books 1 & 2 and I will be going back for the rest asap. I didn't feel like I was missing any vital information from not reading all of the books. 

I really enjoy the ritualistic behavioral element of the crime solving. Harrison is an intriguing character although I struggled with his lack of communication with his girlfriend. The murder and investigation throws up plenty of suspects although I did guess who was responsible. The village definitely gives off Hot Fuzz vibes. 

My only issue was the ending was so abrupt. It felt like there were pages missing. I look forward to going back to learn more about Harrison and is past and I will be keeping an eye out for future additions to this series.
